Despite rising gas prices and out of control inflation, this mama still needs a vacation! I’ve earned it after the past couple of years. The good news is, us Boca Raton residents live where most people want to spend their holiday, so we don’t need to go far to take advantage. But even driving somewhere these days can make the best of us second-guess a resort stay, especially when the price of fuel wants to get in the way of the fun. 

Luckily, I’ve found a couple of amazing staycation destinations that are working hard on their end to alleviate many of the extra burdens being place on travelers right now. Take advantage of these gorgeous spring days before the beach sand gets too hot to walk on and take your family to one (or both!) of these resorts located a few hours or less from Boca…

B Ocean Resort in Fort Lauderdale Beach

It’s a bird, it’s a plane! NO! It’s a hotel in the shape of a clipper ship located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach! I recently booked a multi-generational visit to B Ocean knowing that the Resort had a little something for every age group in our party. From exclusive access to their beautiful private beach (for the in-laws), to multiple swimming pools (a must for our 8 year-old) and on-site dining and bars (like Naked Crab—perfect for me and my husband), this resort is close enough to zip down to for only a night or two with plenty of fun to be had. 

I mean, I’ve already recommended their family-friendly Mermaid Show and brunch in a previous post. Don’t miss out! Right now, guests can save up to 15% on two-night stays or up to 20% on three-nights at B Ocean Resort with this special limited-time spring offer. Book by June 15, 2022 and get onboard for travel now through June 30, 2022.

With gas prices soaring to an all-time high, Hawks Cay, one of the most popular family oriented resorts in the Florida Keys, is offering guests discounted stays PLUS a gas credit through its new “Breeze into the Keys” promotion. This way, families won’t have to think twice before booking their spring or summer getaways. There is so much available for kids, teens and adults alike at Hawks Cay Resort, especially their water sports offerings. Their Dolphin Connection program is especially popular and unique! 

Guests who stay 3+ nights can book the 20% off promotion and enjoy a $150 credit that can be used for poolside cocktails, spa services, or dining at any of the hotel’s restaurants including Sixty-One Prime, its prime chop house. Vacation date night for mom and dad? Yes please!

The credit is applicable to resort spa and dining experiences only. Offer valid April 24 – Aug. 15, 2022 for hotel reservations only. Book by April 30, 2022.
